I love the new flag but more importantly I loved the community process used to create this flag. We had more than 1,100 submissions, of which 950 of those came from Florida.

More than 23,000 individuals connected with us on social media and more than 156,000 individuals visited our website to learn, vote and comment. Plus our flag tour was a huge success, and visited six different community centers in every district plus Lake Eola Park and City Hall.

We even had a volunteer committee lead the contest. The flag was designed by Tim Eggert, a UCF alum.
